Avoid contamination of the syringe.
To prevent the syringe from exposure to spatter or spray of body fluids or contami-
nated hands it is mandatory that the syringe is handled offside the dental unit with
clean/disinfected gloves.
Direct intraoral use: Dispense the material directly into the cavity preparation using a slow, steady
pressure.
3. To remove the used Compules

Tips Gun plunger is pulled back
completely by allowing the handle to open to its widest position. Apply a downward motion to the
front end of the Compules

Using syringes
1. Remove the cap.
2. Turn the handle of the syringe slowly in a clockwise direction and dispense the necessary amount
of the material onto a mixing pad.
3. Point the front tip of the syringe upwards and turn the handle anti-clockwise to prevent oozing of
the material.
4. Immediately close the syringe with the cap.
5. Protect the restorative material on the mixing pad against light.
3.4.1 Applying Ceram.x Spectra™ ST restorative
1. Fill the whole cavity incrementally. Each layer ≤ 2 mm.
2. Cure each layer according to the table below [3.5 Light curing].
Technique Tips:
•
Use a single opacity for most common cases:
Because the Ceram.x Spectra™ ST universal
CLOUD shades are designed to replace both dentin and enamel, a single universal CLOUD shade
is sufficient for most restorations. If esthetic blending of more than one universal CLOUD shade is
desired, shade layers may be individually cured to form a foundation for subsequent shade place-
ment.
•
Use multiple opacities for esthetically demanding cases:
For esthetically demanding cases
such as a large Class IV or a through-and-through Class III, Ceram.x Spectra™ ST Effects den-
tin and enamel shades can be used with Ceram.x Spectra™ ST universal CLOUD shades in a
simplified layering system to provide added opacity and/or translucency.
– Restore the palatal half of the tooth with the dentin shade
2
. Leave room for the universal
CLOUD shade at the incisal edge.
– Place the universal CLOUD shade along the incisal edge and cure the completed palatal layer.
– Restore the facial half of the tooth with the universal CLOUD shade
2
. If increased translucency
along the incisal edge is desired, place the enamel shade there, then cure the completed facial
layer.
